There are no comment on the blog, so I'm just going to put this here and hope the author sees it (as they appear to have submitted the post): You don't want to write SQL in your controllers. It's a recipe for future pain and suffering. - If

I genuinely like the software, and they emailed me a $10 off promo the day before my trial expired. The entire process leading up to the purchase was top notch. Oh, and I didn't know there was a free, quality alternative until shortly after

I recently bought Parallels, and it wasn't much better. From the email I sent them (after I finally found an email address): - When I arrived on the checkout page (from the link in the nice email you sent), you had tacked on a $8 digital ba

One small thing, on this page: https://www.appointmentreminder.org/pricing The strings from the "hot" tag to the "Small business" column are wrong. One of the strings needs to come from behing the column, otherwise it looks like there's s

I tried that link on my phone and got redirected to the "mobile" home page, then couldn't find the article in question. I'm pretty sure people from ars are in here, if so: please fix this. I read 90% of my news on my phone during down time.

One last, really minor thing: When I create a new event, and click "Untitled Event" to edit it, it would be really nice if it auto-selected the text for me. As is I had to click, then double-click, so it's three click for a one click operat

Maybe this is just me, but I couldn't get the site to work. Check my profile for the email address I used to sign up. First try, Firefox 3.6 on Snow Leopard: - Opened iPhoto and dragged a photo in, progress bar filled, but no picture appear

Another example would be Wolfram|Alpha. The site is free, but the iPhone app, and API access are quite expensive.

Apple recently released the Gallery app, and released a new version with an authentication bug fix the next day. It's pretty safe to say that they don't have to resubmit apps for approval.

That's true, I supposed I'd never considered what it would be like from a publisher's perspective. Does HN push enough traffic to make it worthwhile to create content directly targeted at its users? Knowing what to expect for traffic would

I guess Dropbox ended up taking legal action against dropbox.com when they started placing ads for Dropbox's competitors. As a result, the domain holder ended up handing the domain over (no mention of purchase in the article). http://www.t

Yes, but prior to that they used getdropbox.com, not dropbox.net (or something of that ilk). I do believe they were able to lawyer a squatter into releasing the dropbox.com domain after they were proven successful.

I got super paranoid about that, so I created a system for creating quasi-random passwords for different sites, but based on the same rule: salt+[reversed first four letters of site name]+[number of digits in site name] not the actual rule

I don't know about this; it doesn't appear to support authentication, or allow me to upvote/downvote (I get that it probably can't ). My only gripe with using HN in Mobile Safari is that sometimes when I go to upvote/downvote I press the w

Funny, prior to the parent post (which was really bad) being deleted, I had plus 2 karma here. Now I have minus two. I wonder if people don't get that I'm replying to a deleted comment and not the submission.
